556: The Corruption Nest Case in River

The Imperial City Division is best at espionage, surveillance, torture, and murder...... That's just an incidental skill.

Rao Donglai is not Qin Wei, and his people are not comparable to the Northern Expeditionary Army.

The army and the secret spy are two unequal systems, and if you let him annihilate the Liao army squad, that is, let him go abroad to die.

The group entered the city, and Qian Rencai, the governor of Hejian Mansion, hurriedly ushered in, with a big sore on the corner of his mouth, looking red, with a white spot on the top.

It seems that the attack of the Liao people during this period of time has really exhausted him.

"More than 300 people...... There is no advantage in numbers, can Lord Qin find them? ”

Qian Ren felt that Qin Wei was afraid that he was despising those thieves, so he said seriously: "After many confirmations...... Those Liao people are by no means ordinary thieves, but the elite of the Liao army! The so-called thieves are just deceiving people......"

"I know."

When the group arrived at the residence, Rao Dong came to say goodbye, preparing to personally interrogate the Liao people.

"You also arrested the Liao?"

Qian Ren touched the big sore, and the corner of his mouth twitched, "The Liao people will be angry...... I'm afraid this matter can't be relieved. ”

"Killed one earlier."

Qin Wei felt that Qian Ren was just an ant on a hot pot, obviously frightened by the Liao, he got up and walked to the basin shelf, took the towel and began to wash his face.

Everything seems so calm.

But Qian Ren became more and more restless.

"Lord Qin, those businessmen don't dare to go to the field recently......

Qin Wei wiped his face and said casually: "It's good not to come, we have nothing to lose, but the Liao people will not be able to hold on." ”

Qian Ren smiled bitterly: "It's because the Liao people can't hold on, so they have been urging many times in the past few days...... It is said that if those hurtful people don't go again, this year's New Year's coins will increase. ”

"Hehe, a scoundrel ...... a scoundrel"

Qin Wei sneered, Qian Ren also nodded in agreement, and continued: "Over the years, the Liao people have relied on the field to get good things such as tea, and those porcelain, silk and other things that the powerful want also have to rely on the field...... If they can't get the goods, they will threaten and have a headache! ”

"The thief shouts to catch the thief."

Qin Wei threw the towel into the basin and said lightly: "Those thieves are the Liao army, so those threats are just fake." The thief shouted to catch the thief, the purpose was to exert pressure and make the Great Song Dynasty embarrassed. ”

"So-and-so knows ......"

Qian Ren shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's difficult to be an official in Hejian Mansion!" This place is close to the Liao country, everything has to be careful and careful...... Even if you know it's fake, you're still suffering. ”

"Now that so-and-so is here, you don't need to suffer."

After Qin Wei washed up, he changed into dry clothes, and then asked about the recent situation in Hejian Mansion.

"Because of the fact that merchants have been intercepted and killed on the trade routes that come and go recently, some people have started smuggling in the market...... The lower officials have also intervened, but the effect is sparse......"

Qin Wei turned around slowly and said calmly, "Can you catch it?" ”

Qian Ren shook his head and sighed: "No, it was as if I just intervened in those people and went crazy...... Besides, there has been chaos in Hejian Province recently, and I am afraid that a forcible action will cause a commotion. ”

"Catch!"

Qin Wei put on his coat neatly and asked, "Who is the main one?" ”

Qian Ren glanced at him, "Sergeant." ”

!

Qin Wei sneered in his heart, "The sergeants are under supervision, and they smuggle the officials and turn a blind eye?" ”

Qian Ren said with a red face: "Slack off." ”

"Slack off......" Qin Wei came back and sat down, "I'm afraid it's the mastermind behind it." Later, the Imperial City Division will naturally give news. Let them turn themselves in first, and if they don't, let's persuade them again. Heaven has the virtue of a good life, so give them a chance. ”

Persuasion?

This is good!

Being in a place like the border, no fault is meritorious, so Qian Ren has been anxious recently, and he is a little laissez-faire about the smuggling on the other side of the field.

It's best if you don't have to do it.

"What about the thieves?"

Seeing that Qin Wei's attitude was good, Qian Ren felt that the so-called Hades was too nonsense, probably to exaggerate his name in order to deter those Xiaoxiao.

"I heard that Lord Qin is quite accomplished in diplomacy, why don't you go to the Liao people to talk?"

This is probably a pacifist, and he really thinks that Qin Wei is here to negotiate.

Qin Wei said noncommittally: "If you can talk about it, then let's talk about it, it is best if the soldiers are not bloody, after all, Qin is a foreign monk, and many things are not too good." ”

"Lord Qin is joking, you were personally sent by His Majesty, and Xia Guan will naturally do his best to assist you in handling this matter!"

As soon as Qian Ren left, Rao Donglai came.

He smelled of blood on his body, and there were a few more bloodshots in his eyes.

"Those Liao merchants are the secret spies of the Liao people, who specialize in finding out news in the vicinity and investigating the situation of the army's entry and exit from Xiongzhou."

This confession was similar to Qin Wei's expectations, and he asked, "Do they know the traces of that group of Liao troops?" ”

Rao Donglai shook his head and said: "The whereabouts of that group of Liao troops are uncertain, even their own people can't figure it out, and the location of each supply is not fixed, many times it is the Liao people who find a place to put the supplies, and they will come back to pick up the ...... in a few days."

Those Liao people should be constantly roaming, unless a large army is sent to encircle and suppress, it is difficult to catch their traces.

This is the same as Xie Ting's method when they broke into the Liao realm at that time, but this Liao army has rear supplies, and it is difficult to find traces.

"Got it."

Later, Qian Ren came with a Liao man, saying that he was an official of the Rongchang and wanted to discuss the business of the Rongchang.

"Those thieves must be killed as soon as possible, otherwise what will this business do? If the Song people can't do it, Da Liao can send a large army to Hejian Mansion to help ensure that it can be cleaned up......"

If the army of the Liao people comes, the alliance of the Yuanyuan will be abolished.

Not to mention whether the Liao Emperor, who was in the waning mountains, had the courage to wave his army south when he was about to die, it is said that the comprehensive real strength of the Song and Liao sides is actually not much worse.

The reason why the Great Song Dynasty gives people a seemingly weak appearance is that the bones of those in power are too soft.

So it's a joke, a joke that makes fun of Da Song.

Qian Ren was so angry when he heard it on the side, and the attitude of the Liao people meant that they didn't want to settle the matter peacefully.

……

"If you have the ability, you will kill our people, and if you don't have the ability, you will hold back!"

The field was a little deserted, if it was in the past, the Liao people would be panicking, but now they are laughing.

"To teach the Song people a big lesson, so that their hearts will drip blood, and it doesn't matter if they trade for a little less time. Besides, after a while, we won't kill the merchants and plunder the people...... How is it? ”

This is the Rongchang, a Liao man is talking loudly, and the surrounding Liao people are laughing.

"Okay, let those weak Song people cry...... They don't even dare to go out now, so they can only huddle in the field and tremble! ”

"They're on the side! Will hear. ”

The Liao people glanced at the Song people opposite, and they all laughed even more wantonly, we just want the Song people to know! Let them be afraid, let them be ashamed.

"It's too arrogant!"

On the opposite side was a group of officials, and there were more than a dozen sergeants on the side.

The first one was an attendant, and he sneered: "Those thieves are really Liaoren. ”

An official on the side said: "Li Chaofeng, why don't you ...... To interfere? ”

This chamberlain is the official sent by the imperial court to Hejian Mansion, and he is also the boss of the field, and most of the goods and transactions here are made by him.

There is no way, the chamberlain represents the royal family these years, and with such huge interests, the emperor has to find someone who is absolutely reliable and has no dissenting intentions to take care of it.

The role of the chamberlain is to share the emperor's worries.

They have no heirs and no such thing, and they only rely on imperial power, so the chamberlain is better controlled, and they are not afraid of their rebellion.

Li Chaofeng turned around and looked at these officials and said, "If there were no thieves, the merchants would come one after another, how could we have a good business?" ”

The officials all laughed, and there was more greed in their eyes.

The Liao people are laughing, they are unscrupulous and talking about the pride of the Liao army pretending to be thieves and ravaging Xiongzhou, laughing wantonly, the Song people are also laughing, and the merchants dare not come to the field, but it is convenient for them to smuggle.

Both sides are laughing, occasionally staggering glances, all full of tacit understanding.

The trade between the Song and Liao was restricted in goods, for example, the Liao people were not allowed to sell horses, and the Song people were not allowed to sell metals such as copper ore, and there were many things that were prohibited from being sold on this trade list.

In particular, the variety of books is more restrictive.

For example, those books on history and farming techniques were strictly controlled by the Great Song Dynasty.

This is better than the former Tang Dynasty, the former Tang Dynasty hated to teach everything he knew to other races, which can be called a heart-to-heart out.

At that time, the Tang Dynasty was strong, so I couldn't see anything, but once the dynasty was lonely, those things that I didn't think of before would become the source of its downfall.

Li Chaofeng and the Liao official looked at each other, smiled at each other, and then led the people back.

"Those thieves are just demonstrating, and their goal is never to be a field, even if our goods go, they know the proportions."

"Yes."

Li Chaofeng sighed: "This business must be big!" ”

Because merchants were not allowed to trade privately in the field, it was the official tooth people who communicated, and then set the price and decide the amount of trade. But Song and Liao are both big countries, where will the volume of goods be enough.

On the surface, the volume of trade is not enough, which naturally gives rise to smuggling.

This is the guidance of the market.

Li Chaofeng sneered: "Let's talk about cloth, the cloth of the Liao people is thicker and cheaper, and the court asked us to buy more, but what should the Liao people do if they are not happy?" Don't buy it privately! ”

"Worship, where did all the cloth go?"

"Yes! Why do you have to buy a lot of cloth from the Liao? ”

Li Chaofeng shook his head, "Most of them were made into military uniforms and given to those thieves with troops." ”

The fabric of the Great Song Dynasty military uniform was actually made by the Liao?

At this time, someone rode over, and said anxiously near and forward: "Li Xian, someone is from the south." ”

Li Chaofeng asked casually, "Who?" ”

The person who came said: "It's Qin Wei, he said that the smugglers should turn themselves in." ”

"Qin Wei?"

Li Chaofeng smiled: "Still surrendered? He is the secretary of the bureau, and he may be able to eat well in Bianliang, but he is counted as a six in Hejian Mansion, where he is not familiar with the place! An airborne envoy dares to say that he surrendered? This is frightening, if we are afraid, he estimates that he will burst into laughter. ”

"Yes! The young man is impatient, so let's just ignore him. ”

"He's here to deal with those Liao troops."

Li Chaofeng said firmly: "Qin's first trip for this is to encircle and suppress those Liao troops, but he will definitely not be able to do it...... When the time comes, how can you still care about smuggling? All rest assured, the goods that should go continue to go. I want to see what a young man is capable of! ”

"Li Chaofeng is high! I'll just see the excitement later. ”

A group of people gradually smiled and relaxed, and the Liao people also got the news.

"Qin Wei is here?"

"Yes! He said that the fate of the last time is not over, and he is waiting for us in Xiongzhou, and he will see you or leave......"

"Who did he bring?"

The Liao people were all looking at the comers, and there was hatred in their eyes.

Nanjing Dao was humiliated by the Northern Expeditionary Army last time, and it was really a loss of face, and if he couldn't make meritorious service this time, he would not know how many officials would be disposed of.

"It's almost the same as the last time, the Northern Expeditionary Army has more than 300 horsemen, and Qin Wei personally led the team!"

"More than 300 people...... Is he crazy enough to think that the same number of people last time can humiliate us again? How many of us are there? ”

"Our people can be replenished at any time, unless the whole army is wiped out, there will always be more than 300 of our people, and it is easy to think more, but it is better not to have more, so if you win, you can make the Song people ashamed!"

"Here's your chance." The Liao people who took the lead had more light in their eyes: "All cheer up and go tell those people that Qin Wei is here to tell them to be more vigilant and find an opportunity to kill him." ”

……

Qin asked the people involved in the smuggling to turn themselves in, and after the words came out, there was a burst of laughter in the Hejian Mansion, both the people and the officials, including the sergeants.

Hejian Province is an important place in the field, and the smuggling business has not been interrupted since the day the field was established.

You Qin Wei wanted to ban this matter when he first came, it's not a joke.

Everyone was looking at Qin Wei's station to see what he would do.

"I heard that this person once killed more than 20,000 elites in the Southwest War, and he should be a brain, but how can he make people feel unreliable?"

"It's just that those thieves haven't been caught yet."

"He brought more than 300 people, where can he catch them? Don't you think that there are really only 300 Liao people? Ay! It's been a sad day. ”

"Look, he's out."

The door opened, and Lin Xiaobei came out first.

He looked left and right, his eyes stayed on the two people who were talking for a while, and then turned around and said, "Lang Jun, there is nothing abnormal." ”

After making sure that it was safe outside, Qin Wei went out of the gate.

It's not that he's overly cautious, it's a necessary precaution.

Several Liao envoys were disgraced in his hands, and the Liao people had long hated him to the core. If you can kill him, no matter what the means, the Liao people dare to use it.

After the group met with the Northern Expeditionary Army, they went to the field.

The field was still the same, and the Song Liao merchant looked at him without any reaction, lifeless.

"This is a game, and the Liao are forcing us to do it."

"But where are those Liao troops?" Rao Donglai smiled bitterly: "A certain person has not stopped for half a month, and five people are missing when looking for those Liao troops. Those five people probably found their traces and went after them, but unfortunately...... There are no good horses! ”
